Research direction

Start by reviewing the TypeScript client package and its dependency boundary, then compare the required browser transport with grpc-web. Determine which not-just-proto core dependencies prevent browser use and define how the client should operate in a browser. Done means the gRPC client can be used in-browser without those core dependencies.
